adult

When we're young, everything seems so cut and dried, but getting a little bit older makes us ask questions we didn't even know we had. It's eye opening, and it makes you realize that with greater responsibilities comes having to understand a lot of the things your parents complained about. Here are some total downsides to being an adult as well as some funny and embarrassingly basic stuff adults didn't know.

As you age, your sense of self changes, and you realize that your personality is based mostly on commercials and the fact that you used to have more cartilage in your knees. Aging starts at your first encounter with utter BS and continues with factors you didn't anticipate about adulthood, but in the end, you're better for it.

Adult life is a bit of a surprise to everybody. There are things that you expected but still don't enjoy, like paying bills. Then there are other strange things that are hard to expect, like the childishness of other adults, and the realities of dusting. It starts with your first encounter with total BS and just keeps sliding from there. Here are some adult life equivalents of calling the teacher mom.

Part of childhood is just being a weird and stupid kid and learning how the rules of life work. But for a while there, you get to do some pretty strange stuff and adults just think that it's fine. Here are things kids do all the time that could get you sent to jail as an adult.

You might connect with some of these adults and their struggles. You know, those things that society expects us to have a handle on, when in reality we're nowhere close to being able to do it. Like small talk, or getting out of bed on time. Yeah, those are too real. 

Here are some tips for how to look like an adult and trick your guests into thinking you have your life together. These tips are counterintuitive, pointless and ridiculous but it seems like they probably work. Most adult houses look something like this, at least in magazines or something. If you want actual bad advice, here are some straight up terrible life-hacks.

Hey, adults are the ones who write all of these shows anyway so it just makes sense that they'd sneak something in for the parents. Some of these are references only adults would get, others are just straight up filthy. Anyway, after these you may look at your childhood a little differently.

You'd think that just because someone's over the age of 35, they'd have a healthy amount of humility and shame. If you thought that, you would be wrong. You would be very, very wrong. We've got grown-ups head-butting walls for candy, and self-respecting adults crying over parking spots. Smh.

Can you even imagine suffering through one of these volatile emotional breakdowns out in public? These "adults" straight up reverted back to their childish selves. Let's just hope they learned to not get so dangerously worked up about things (oftentimes outside their control) for next time. 

Why is adulting so hard...ALL THE TIME.
